I'm a little confused. Hen or roo?

[Reaperprincess]

I have these two roo's or well I have always thought they were roos but they are 4 almost 5 months old and their saddle feathers are round like a hen's while their hatchmates that are roos hsve the long pointy saddle feathers of a roo

Thanks i always thought they were cockerels because they developed red combs early on. Which i was told meant cockerel

I have a RIR that I thought was a cockerel until yesterday, I realized "he" had round saddle feathers, and when I asked about "him" on BYC, everyone said pullet

Thank you I am ecstatic to know i have two more hens.

These are females

Two pullets. Some pullets "comb up" early, so red/pink comb and wattles at an early age, while a good predictor of gender, is not always 100% guarantee of a cockerel. By
16-20 weeks male specific saddle feathers should definitely have started coming in if they were males.

Thank you this is very helpful especially now that i am starting to want to thin out my rooster population. At the moment i have 29 roosters and 64 hens and two roosters are being sold on friday so the more hens the better
